How we calculate

Lesson cost = the cheaper of (monthly price x months) and (annual price x years), using verified prices in our comparison data checked 2026-10-17. Free trials are NOT subtracted - trials auto-convert unless cancelled, so this is the honest paid total. Gear is a one-time cost at the verified price in our gear guides. Accessories are listed as an unpriced allowance because small-item prices vary too much by retailer to state responsibly. Yousician cannot be estimated - it does not publish a USD price.
